Volkswagen Gives Its Vision Gran Turismo Car a Fresh Look as the GTI Turns 50​

Volkswagen has revisited its GTI Roadster Vision Gran Turismo in a surprise refresh more than eleven years after it first hit the scene in Gran Turismo 6...

 

[Coquico]

It would be nice to have it in the game, gor me as a new model, not replacing the older. I remember those gt6 visions, by then, i not liked the handling. But that have changed a lot in GT7, for good.

Now it makes sense why Supercar Blondie made a video about the VGT a few weeks back.

It’s green.

 

[CommandrCyclops]

Maybe we’ll get a paint chip out of it.

 

[crooky369]

It’s green.

Still makes no sense....
Are we also getting it on GT7 ?

Probably a gift ticket of the car in this special color? If not, I can see if I can get the code to recreate it in the livery editor.

Looks like the Hulk had a BM.....

With an appreciation post about the generations of Golf i'd expect a Golf II GTI and a Golf IV R32 in the game. And not just a new color for some VGT. But of course thanks for the news anyway!

Lupo GTI would be nice to be added with interior. To celebrate the GTI brand. Could mean having the GTI cup cars back in Gran Turismo.

 

[ZevZoq]

meh...who needs to see out front anyway?

 

[Lightpilgrim]

Not sure I like any of the VGT cars. Unless the game forces me to use one, I would like not pick it up

 

[GTvsForza]

I got the color:

Dark Moss Green Metallic (134, 48, 9)

 

[ZevZoq]

Oh it's an open top! lol...I failed to notice that.

Never made any sense to me to celebrate 'GTi' with a two-seat, 3lt, 6-cyl, 4WD roadster, when everyone always associates GTi with the Golf GTi which has always been a four (or five) seat, 4-pot, FWD hatchback.

Someone has been able to mTch the color and the livery?

The Mk3 and Mk4 were both available as "GTI VR6" models (distinct from the regular VR6), and the Mk7 Clubsport S was a two-seater - if only because the rear seats were pulled out and tossed.

Was the GTI VR6 only 2-door?

There was also that one time a Golf had a W12...

This mid-engine Volkswagen Golf with a twin-turbo W12 proved just how far the GTI formula could be pushed.

Now that’s a better VW VGT right there, not this trying to be a GT by Citroen ‘thing’

Five door were available.

I remember seeing the original at Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2014 (pics at the start of the video below).
Hoping it comes back to FoS this year and I can get some pics of it in the new colour.

 

[Alfa Romeo GT]

I feel like the car went under a bridge that was too small.

 

[Giygas]

Wait, is this car an amalgam of already existing VAG parts mechanically?

Real shame they cant bring the Goodwood Hill run back to GT7 as timed events!!! Or they yet to have done it. Shud it not be called the "Goooolfster" now its green?

 

[HadenGTracer]

No offense, but that is disgusting on the design aspect. Why make it look like a golf?!?!
